New 20 Pound CO2 Bottle and Regulator

The plant seems to be using more CO2 now than it did a week ago as the regulator seems to be running more to try and maintain the pre set level of 850-950ppm. The plant has grown in physical size so it is able to assemble more carbon based sugars now, than it did just a week ago, so an increase in carbon dioxide consumption is to be expected.

This is a 20lb compressed carbon dioxide bottle which makes for easy exchanges. There is a metal stake in the ground with a green metal core wire and plywood on the bottom. This system makes for a safe and secure location because if the bottle was to tip over and break the top off it would essentially be a very dangerous and destructive missile.
